anyone on here?
I think I recognise the license plate as MrGarrett's he is registered on here (Although he stopped posting in october) and doesn't live to far from me. This was probably before he bought the car though.

rear window trim
That's just a joke, The moulding for the sides and bottom isn't even a complicated extrusion, surely somewhere will have the same pattern on a large roll and just cut off what you need. I can't see it being to difficult to find on another car.

Hesitation after rainfall!
Does anyone know if this can be cured by switching to a filter other than apexi? All the posts I've seen regarding this issue have said apexi so I'm just wondering if it's filter specific.

I think the DVLA can give you contact details, but they have a small charge for each plate you want to check.

PCV Hoses
Looking at courtesys website the hoses changed in 05/90, As my car is a '90 J spec how can I tell the month of manufacture? Or does it not really make much difference which hose I use?

Will the car run without the speedo cluster?
I think the speed signal is sent to the clocks first, 'cleaned up' a bit and a further signal is sent on to the ECU. There could also be legal implications on the lack of odometer...

Average Respray Cost?
The previous owner of mine payed £2700 for the bayside blue respray although he did get the paint from directly from Nissan and didn't have the engine bay done which is still gunmental grey. The quality is excellent though

ZX300 TT Mechanic Birmingham
When I first got my Z I used zedworld a few times, and I can assure you I have no intention of using them again. He changed by HICAS arms but forgot to tighten the locknuts even though he was supposed to have tracked it up aswell, this also caused the bearings in my traction arms to come under excessive load and started creaking/banging all the way down the road.

Planning a Road Trip
Sorry for the late reply, I completely forgot about this thread :x: If you find the drawing pin button there's a pull down menu that will bring up a large list of different icons you can choose. The yellow bits are because I have highlighted the points. Right click on the drawing pin (Or other icon) and select highlight. Basically what I've done is to add any point that for one reason or another I would like to visit, Not all of them are going to be possible but if I have all of them then I can make course corrections while I'm out there in case I get behind/ahead of schedule.
